PO8), a developer of
early-warning monitoring technologies to protect people from bioterrorism
and other infectious health threats and provider of counter-terrorism
consulting and training services, announced today that it has received a
purchase order from its Chinese distributor for bioterrorism detection
kits.
The purchase order has been placed by Kadinuo Science and Technology in
Beijing. Kadinuo Science and Technology has been active in introduction and
promotion of advanced radiation
instruments in the Chinese market for over 10 years. Presently, the
company is a strong regional supplier of emergency nuclear monitors,
environmental radiation monitors, decontamination technologies, and the
like.
"We are very pleased to have received our first purchase order for these
products from China. This is obviously a very large market and like any
other has security concerns, relating to threat of Biological Weapons and
Toxins and we are glad to be providing our solutions in countering these
threats," said Jacques Tizabi, CEO of Universal Detection Technology.
There have been recent reports of terrorist activity in China. The Chinese
Government has warned that terrorists pose the biggest risk to this
summer's Olympic Games in Beijing. Officials say they foiled two plots, one
to bring down an airliner, and another to disrupt the summer games. The
Chinese government has also stepped up efforts in bio-security to ward off
possible bioterrorism during the coming Olympics.
A biological attack can be carried out by a single individual that aims to
disrupt society. The latest ricin incident in Las Vegas illustrates how a
terrorist equipped with just an anarchist handbook and castor beans made
one of the deadliest poisons known to man with the intend to cause harm.
UDTT is a supplier of counter terrorism services and technologies to
private and government organizations. The Company owns the license to a
patented technology developed at NASA's JPL and utilized in UDTT's BSM-2000 used for
autonomous monitoring of the air for presence of airborne bacterial spores
such as anthrax. UDTT also supplies detection kits
for detection of up to 5 bioterrorism agents. Among the Company's other
products are radiation
detection systems, educational
material & training DVDs, and antimicrobial
chemicals.
UDTT's
BSM-2000 and other bioterrorism and radiation detection technologies
are anticipated to be a great match for Kadinuo's present products and
services. Kadinuo has established relationships with more than 200
customers in China including government administrators, such as the Chinese
State Environmental Protection Administration, Chinese Center for Disease
Control and Prevention, Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection
and Quarantine of China, and the Public Security Bureau. In 2006 and 2007,
Kadinuo has won 13 and 16 government bids respectively.
